Lowrance, “Is Chris Adams one of your men?"
Hart, “Let me tell you something. Lowrance, if Chris Adams worked for me, I’d keep him away from the Von Erichs. That should tell you I am not advising him.”
Lowrance, “Now let’s talk about Gino Hernandez. He will defend the American Title on November 28, at ‘Thanksgiving Star Wars’, against Kerry Von Erich.”
Hart, “Gino Hernandez is ready for any challenge. Kerry Von Erich is very talented ,but he’s not very bright. That will be the difference.”
Hernandez, “Kerry Von Erich, don’t make me laugh! I am your Champion, and Kerry Von Erich is a spoiled daddy’s boy. I am going to destroy him on Thanksgiving!”

The veteran Fred Curry starts for his side. Sailor White begins for the Canadian team. Curry uses his speed to stay away from White, but the man from Newfoundland finally corners Curry. He works over Fred and then tags in Martin. Curry is able to escape and tag in Veasey. The Alaskan looks good, but then Lefebvre tags in and takes over. Reynosa is next, but he can’t make any headway. Lefebvre uses the piledriver for the win.

Marc Lowrance is at the announce table.
Lowrance, “We are less than two weeks from ‘Thanksgiving Star Wars’. We have three big matches to announce. We have an American Tag Team Title match, and not just a regular match. Buck Zumhofe and Iceman King Parsons will defend against the Long Riders in a ‘Texas Tornado Match’. That means all four men will be in the ring at the same time, and there will be no disqualification, or count out. This ‘might’ settle things between these two teams, but maybe not. We also have a World Six Man Tag Team Title match. Mad Dog Lefebvre, Frenchy Martin and Sailor White defend against Kevin Von Erich, Mike Von Erich, and ‘Gentleman’ Chris Adams. We all know what happened last time these two teams met. The reason Adams is wrestling with the Von Erichs is because of our main event. Gino Hernandez will defend the American Championship against Kerry Von Erich. What a night of action it will be. Now let’s see Gino Hernandez take on Johnny Mantell.”

Lowrance, "Alright, now about tonight. You take on the Missing Link.

Lowrance, “what an ending! Who is on what side? Chris Adams is in the middle of controversy once again. As I am talking an eight man tag team match is about to begin.

What that means is, tickets will be at a premium. Get out early and ensure yourself a ticket. You will see the best in World Class Championship Wrestling.”
Dark Match
Eight Man Tag Team Match
Brian Adias, Al Madril, Buck Zumhofe and Iceman King Parsons vs. The Long Riders, Kamala and the Magic Dragon
Poor Bronko Lubich, he has to referee this one. The Long Riders have a “Texas Tornado Match” with Zumhofe and Parsons coming up. That one may not be as wild as this one. The match begins with Adias and the Magic Dragon in the ring. Adias uses good old fashioned American know how to confront Dragon’s martial arts. The Dragon is frustrated and tags in Kamala. The big Ugandan still cannot understand tag team wrestling, but his viciousness makes up for it. Madril tags in, but he has no more success against Kamala. The match continues and Parsons and Bill Irwin end up in the ring. This is what the fans are waiting for. We have a brawl. Zumhofe and Scott Irwin end up in the ring and Buck is in trouble. Parsons comes in to help his partner, This brings everyone in and we have an eight man brawl. In the confusion, the Irwins use a double boot on Zumhofe.
